This is a very beautiful riad, nicely decorated throughout. It is only 5 min to the Supratours bus stop, and right inside the medina. It has ocean view from the terrace, it was great to have breakfast there. Breakfast was fantastic with orange juice, tea/coffee, omelet, pastries, jams etc.Our room was very clean and they even use white bed sheet, perfectly clean even ironed. Bathroom was in its original condition as it is a riad, but it was very clean which is not usual for old riads. The managers were very friendly and well organized, explaining everything about the city, where to go, where to eat, pricing of taxis or restaurants. On the day that we checked out, they even let us leave our bags and tour the city till our bus time, and when we came back we stayed in the riad, used the toilets and wifi for another 2 hours.

This place is just AMAZING! From the first moment, when the owner told us everything about the city and showed us interesting places we knew, that this hotel is the right place. Staff is very friendly, room was nice and clean and the breakfast was so delicious 🙂 Hotel is located in medina, but just few minutes from the beach. Also, you can never get lost and everything is close – souks, port, beach, restaurants. We spent here great time and we can only recommend!

The French couple who run the hotel and their staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were large and delicious. The security was excellent (can be a problem in riads). And the views from the roof top terrace were superb. Equally the situation in the medina was ideal for exploring the town. I will be recommending this riad to all my travelling friends.

the room and the riad in general were beautifully clean and traditionally decorated. the riad was quiet, peaceful and the terrace had a great view of the ocean which we could enjoy during breakfast and also while sunbathing on one of the sunbeds (in the middle of November). The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. the host and the staff were always available and checking the everything was ok. another very useful thing was a folder that they had compiled with restaurant recommendations, activities available etc, which they would lso help you book.

Very comfortable room with a great shower / bathroom. Good location in the Medina and easy to find compared to the riads in Marakech. Very helpful staff.

Francesco from Italy, November 20, 2015 at 9:49 pm

We loved every bit of it. The rooms are simple, but cute; the bathroom is spacious. The rooftop of the riad is amazing and having breakfast there is pure joy. The riad is very well located in the medina, close to everything and is also pretty easy to find.

States at Riad Ocean Medina for 3 nights and loved it. We had the top room on the roof terrace which was huge and had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Breakfast was simple but did the job and the staff were so friendly and kind. The location was brill and not too difficult to find although we had to be shown how to be there on arrival. Would I recommend it; absolutely.

Alex from U.S.A., November 12, 2015 at 12:17 pm

Friendly and helpful staff. Try helped us book our bus tickets to marrakech and also recommended some great restaurant to eat. I'd stay here again!

Dror from Israel, November 12, 2015 at 10:58 am

great location, in the center of the medina, near the sea, wonderful view to the sea, amazing terrace (unlike most of the riads). ,very friendly staff, great breakfast, very clean and Not crowded. we reccomend to stay at the on the roof, very big room, with view.

Everything. Staff very kind and helpful. Best breakfast during my whole Marocco trip (fresh bread, croissant, omlett, jam, cheese, cookie, almond/ honey cream, fresh juice…), fantastic ocean view and relax opportunities; nice room and very quiet Easy to find, located directly in the medina small street seemed a bit awkward first time, but no problem

Mark from Netherlands, November 6, 2015 at 1:32 pm

Everything. From being welcomed with minttea to check out everything was great. Really nice people who go out of their way to inform and help you with every question. The room we had (Ouarzazate) was big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast on the sublime roofterrace was plentifull and fresh. The Riad is really nice and location is good for the Medina and access to the beach and the harbour. And Essaouira is a great place with a seeafront relaxing atmosphere. We recommend Riad Ocean Medina to everyone.

We had great experience in Riad Ocean Medina. Owners were very helpful before our arrival and during entire stay. We were light travelers and they even provided us with beach towels which was a big favor. Thank you heaps for this! Apart from that, it was the best breakfast we had in Morocco with yummy omelet and sweet potato butter. Location is good, place is clean, owners are friendly and value for money is great. We would go there again.

The Riad is nice and clean, the staff is great. All the Riads are located in the same street, in the medina… It can look a bit scary the first time, but it is really safe and central.

Quinton from United Kingdom, September 24, 2015 at 3:44 pm

A great Riad and I've stayed at a few in Essaouira. The French owners were friendly, the riad was really clean and recently painted. Breakfast was great with views of the sea and a nice terrace. Ocean Medina riad is excellent value for money, we stayed for a week. I'd read some negative comments, but none of them were true. I think these must have been from the previous owners.

Sophie from United Kingdom, September 16, 2015 at 10:21 pm

This Riad was incredibly good value for money as well as being excellently situated; i.e. not too close to the hustle and bustle of the souks and just close enough to the centre of the medina so getting back wasn't an issue. The views from the roof were amazing and the building itself was clean and very well kept. Breakfast was great (French Moroccan influence) and the staff very friendly (the owner came up straight away on our first day to make sure we'd organised any transport that we wished to do outside of Essaouria as well as enquire about any tours or excursions we might want to plan). All in all couldn't ask for better.

Balint from United Kingdom, August 28, 2015 at 6:26 pm

We had a great 5days in this riad. The design is fantastic especially the terraces, adorable. Breakfast is outstanding and very rich: pastry, jam, dates, juice, fruits, bread, moroccon cookies. We booked a hammam treatment as well through the rias which was a very relaxing experience. Our room was a tad dark, but was clean and nicely decorated. Next time I would rather go for one of the rooms on the second floor as there might be more light. Christel is a lovely and funny lady who is happy to help you in every question

Convenient location inside the medina close to the port and to the beach. Wonderful terrace. Rooms with nice design. Very clean. Big bathroom. Good breakfast. A perfect choice to spend some days in Essaouira.

Nisrine from United Kingdom, July 23, 2015 at 11:31 am

The Riad is quiet and charming. The staff – Khadija and Hamid – are a treat to guests and they did their best to cater to our needs. The internet was very fast too.

Sheila from Spain, July 7, 2015 at 10:52 pm

Good location, easy to find and to get from everywhere, although it's inside the medina which it's a bit labyrinthine. Breakfast is good and it has a nice roof terrace.

Bart from Morocco, June 27, 2015 at 9:46 pm

Ocean medina is brand new. The old Riad is completely turned around. Everything looks fresh and new. The owners, a Frenche couple, are very nice and welcoming. The breakfast is great! Especially when the Maroccan lady makes her famous ommelet

Melissa from Germany, June 18, 2015 at 4:21 pm

EVERYTHING! The staff is very friendly and professional. Guillaume, the manager, provided us with lots of useful infos to make the best of our stay in Essaouira. The riad is so charming and clean, feels like home. I will definitely go there again for my next stay in Essaouira.

Asier from Spain, June 15, 2015 at 11:38 am

The riad is in the medina, but is easy to find at the first time without asking. Supratour bus company is very near from the riad. The room is wide, comfortable and clean.

Emer from Ireland, May 13, 2015 at 12:18 pm

The building, location, terrace with sea view and yummy brekkies. he staff was really kind and welcoming towards my daughter who loved staying there too.

Gerald from Canada, May 9, 2015 at 12:54 pm

Riad Ocean Medina is a lovely property and the proprietor clearly has thought of everything that a guest could need for a relaxing, comfortable and convenient stay. We were put up in the terrace suite which is a truly beautiful space, done in blue and white with a slightly country feel to it. It was impeccably clean, comfortable, with strong wifi connection and we can't think of anything to recommend that could have made it better. Thanks again to all of the staff for a flawless stay, we hope to visit again!

Caroline from Ireland, May 8, 2015 at 1:44 pm

Nice riad with good location 5 minutes walk from supratours bus station. After check out could leave bags until bus leaving later in the afternoon.

Evie from United States of America, April 29, 2015 at 11:25 am

The Riad is located on the inner edge of the Medina, so it's pretty calm on the doorstep. The Riad Ocean is well cared for and maintained, with small details given great care (ex. fresh towels placed on the sun loungers on the roof). A lovely view and ambiance on the rooftop terrace, perfect anytime of day. Our room (6) was dark but well sized, including a spacious bathroom with plenty of hot water.

Maria from United Kingdom, April 10, 2015 at 11:52 pm

Amazing Riad! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was lovely and clean and the terrace stunning! I would definetely recommend this Riad!

Gert from Morocco, April 6, 2015 at 2:31 pm

Location was brilliant just inside medina. Staff was very nice and helpful. Nice roof terrace, with delicious breakfast. Highly recommend. Good for bacpackers and travellers. Good price.

Zsolt from Sweden, March 28, 2015 at 12:30 pm

everything, staff very kind, you could leave safely your luggage after checkout all day long while walking around, nice terrace with good breakfast.

Nora from Norway, March 22, 2015 at 11:48 pm

Beautiful roof terrace, breakfast is served there, and there are sun beds as well. Charming, good-sized room with interesting details. Really friendly owners, helped us plan a detour down the coast on our way out. Well organized, with a folder of recommended restaurants, spas etc, and a map of the medina handed out on arrival.

Anonymous User from Netherlands, March 3, 2015 at 9:18 pm

friendly hosts, helped us out when we had some trouble with our car. Riad in quiet area with view from the rooftop terrace on sea. About 5 minutes walk to main street.

The owner and staff were so genuinely friendly and attentive. Perfect breakfasts on the roof terrace. This Riad is a relaxing oasis from the madness of this busy little town.

Charlotte from United Kingdom, January 28, 2015 at 10:34 pm

Breakfast on the roof terrace was delicious, the owner comes to chat to everyone whilst you're having breakfast to ask what your plans are and advise you. The rooms are big and decorated nicely, with lovely bathrooms. The first time we stayed we had constant hot water from the shower, unfortunately the second time it wouldn't get hot at all. We arrived after 11pm because our bus got in late which wasn't a problem. A really nice atmosphere in the riad.
